Isnt it much easier for them to simply set it up in email format (2125551212@yourcarrier.com) and send it that way? The message still arrives as a text message to the end user, and Verizon cant charge extra for it. You can't get as much information into the txt message if you use the @vtext.com, because it shows the from: to: and subject: fields. -- Linux Haters Unite!

Keep in mind an SMS can only have between 140 and 160 (roughly) characters, so its not like people are receiving lengthy messages anyway. -- If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. -Ronald Reagan-
